Here, the first hour (7-8 AM) of trade is reserved for oldies, which includes me. I tried that -- once.
I encountered a horde of ill-tempered old couples pushing enormous trolleys they either couldn't manage, or were deliberately using as bulldozers. I ventured into two aisles where I collected a couple of items and bruises, neither of which I really needed, and headed for the checkouts - which were empty
It puzzles me why TPTB assume it's appropriate for old people to get up at 5:30 AM, do their ablutions, have a cuppa , get dressed, take their meds, and walk 20 minutes each way to the supermarket in the early morning cold drizzle, while the X-Y-Z generations are lolling around in warm beds watching Wetflux.
Yeah I know, get home delivery... tried that too, took three days to deliver. Some items were missing, some were inappropriately substituted -- Parmesan dust for shaved Parmesan, Iceberg lettuce for Cos (Romaine). And there were 'complimentary' items I wouldn't buy in month of Sundays - sugar and salt laden snacks - I eat to live not to die.
No OK Boomer responses allowed, I'm older than that - Beat generation
There's new version of Firefox, its only claim to fame is some enhancements to search - what's the point of that, when so many people couldn't be arsed to search for a sock in their own sock drawer
.
Take care everyone.
